I've been playing in my sewing room for the past couple of days. So much of what I make is either commissioned or gifts for someone. This is a gift so I can only give you a peak. There's always a quilting or knitting project going on here even though it doesn't appear that way.
A special employer someone (tee hee) has a birthday coming up and shared with me their love of paper dolls. I was able to still find some of this Aunt Lindy fabric that I have seen in the past. I'll share the rest when it's done.
My darling daughter left me this message on my cutting table. Now I have to use a different pincushion since I won't be altering this one. The sweet pincushion was made by my sweet friend, Trish.
Smiles,
I can't wait to see what you're doing. You should check out what I've done with the paper doll fabric.

I love those paperdolls. My granddaughter has one and another young girl of a good friend has the other.
I love when our kids leave unexpected little messages showing their love! You may never want to use that again. :)
ReplyDeleteEvery time I click on your blog, i feel happy when I see it. I just love your colors.
ReplyDeletewell, those look like some of the fat quarters I saw at Joann's the other day when they were having their sale. It was so hard for me not to panic over which ones to get! :)
Sweet love note. ♥
That is so sweet. I would never ever take one single pin out of that pincushion. My kids are from age 30 to 21 and I still have every single thing they made me, and now I have a collection started from grandchildren. I am such a sentimental old thing . . . I promise when she is 30 you will still love that as much as you do now!!!

Can't wait to see what you do with that fun paperdoll fabric! DO they even make paperdolls anymore? I remember finding an Anne of Green Gables book of paperdolls about 10 years ago for my daughter. It was so lovely. And yes, you may never touch one pin on that pincushion! That is the dearest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute fabrics Renee! I have never seen the paper doll print, what a cute gift it will make. Trish is the dearest isn't she? I don't know if I would ever be able to use those pins and mess up that precious message! It must have made you smile like crazy:>)
ReplyDeleteWhat a special little love note. I would never remove a single pin. :0)
